Description

Grimes Elementary School in Burlington, Iowa educates 440 students in grades preschool through 5th. The school is named after Iowa's third Governor and United States Senator, James Wilson Grimes. While serving as Senator, Grimes broke party ranks when he cast a vote for acquittal during the impeachment trials of President Andrew Johnson. After serving as Senator, Grimes returned to his home site, fell into ill health and passed away. The school is located on his original home site. Several schools were constructed on the site and later remodeled. The beautiful building we have now was completed in 2005 as part of the Burlington Community School Districts "Newer and Fewer" plan. The building has some remarkable features including a large, colorful foyer; an enormous gymnasium; a large cafeteria; a media center with lots of sunlight filtering through the windows above; and classrooms equipped with sinks, water fountains, bathrooms, and smart boards. The true splendor of the school however is not in the wonderful design or technology, but rather in the integrity, character and skill of its staff. Grimes school is home to over 60 employees all sharing the common goal of providing students with the skills, the resources and the high expectations necessary to become lifelong learners.
